Having seen more of us play than Mr. Fine, I can say easily that:
[1] Lamb is not soft. He adds quite a lot more physical pressure than Garlett had for years. He is a more physical player who take overhead marks and puts his body in. The only thing soft about him was his kicking last weekend: it usually is better than that.
[2] Sumner is a kid playing and looking adequate. He did some nice things and also showed some physicality.
Neither of these guys is getting enough of the ball yet, nor are they kicking enough goals yet, but I would not throw them away. Not for a moment.
If he wants to look around for 'soft' players, perhaps he should look a little closer to home.
